Brown would be our best FB options...I've held this opinion since he played there late last year...He has it all; size; attacks the ball(moltz note!); runs the ball back and can take a high ball....I'm flabbergasted(nice word) why Sheens has not given him a crack at FB this year??!!

I thought Utai was going to have another shocker when he dropped that first pass cold... Definitely glad he caught the second one when Benji put him away.

I'll be gutted if we lose Mitch. He needs a consistent run in the side like last season and i hope he gets it at fullback leaving reddy to push our boys in the centre's and wing slots. He's got everything, just needs a run in the side and for sheens to tell him he'll back him for a bit to get him going!

Anyway, back on to Mitch Brown. There's something very fishy here. As everyone else has said, what aren't we seeing?!?!?!
I would love to see him have a crack at fullback next year. I don't really know why we've signed Grant and Reddy when we've got guys like Brown, Simona, and even Tedesco who had a cracker of a game in the 20s tonight.

And gees he hit that kick sweetly. Brown to kick for the rest of the year please.

The reason why Utai was picked in the centres is because we want his go forward,but not his fragility under the high ball or in defence when isolated on the wing.
Weve had plenty of opportunities to play Brown,but in Sheens defence Brown hasnt really grasped them like Utai did early in the season

Yes I'd like to see him stay in the team and that was a cracking conversion last night. But there must be something that is stopping him getting a reular spot. We don't get to see the ins and outs of training etc that can give a coach a feeling for what a player offers.

I've always thought Brown lacks aggression for a bloke of his size. Maybe he is just too nice a kid.

This year Moltzen was always going to be persisted with. Next year it might be different. Tedesco is way too young for a regular fullback spot in '12.
